Rocky Mountain Riding Therapy is a nonprofit equine-assisted services program that serves children and adults with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. Founded in 1993, the program has provided therapeutic riding and related horse-based services for more than 30 years.
Its services have included therapeutic riding, hippotherapy, equine-assisted psychotherapy, equine-assisted learning, veterans programming, camps, and vocational training. The program is described as serving participants from early childhood through older adulthood with support from instructors, therapists, volunteers, and equine professionals.
The organization moved to Longmont in 2024 and now operates under the name Gifted Herd. That means this entry should only be published under the Rocky Mountain Riding Therapy name if you are intentionally listing former names or historical identities. Otherwise, it makes more sense to publish it as Gifted Herd.
